The US coverage was a shit show. It was enlightening that most of the ex pros (Henry, Carra, Richards, Schmeichel) were incorrectly focused on the ball being played backwards (i.e. they dont know the actual rules), but more enlightening was that the ref they had on to explain the call made it increasingly unclear what had happened with each additional sentence. The key issue was Kane needs to be behind the ball, not the player passing it to him. Somehow she never came close to breaking it down that simply, and she is an example of a highly rated top level ref. This is why they are not allowed to communicate to us, because they speak in riddles that mean nothing. the fact this is so universal among the top refs has to speak to an issue in how they are trained to think about things.
